Christine Guirguis

Fascinated by human biology, the human condition and traditional and modern systems of medicine, I completed a Bachelor of Medical Science from the University of Sydney, and both a Bachelor and a Master of Health Science in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine respectively, from the University of Technology Sydney.

In practice since 2000, I have had so many enriching experiences. I worked in Tia's integrative medicine centres for women in their New York Flatiron, Soho and Williamsburg clinics, alongside passionate primary care providers determined to change the standard of healthcare for women in the US. I have studied at integrative university hospitals in China. I have worked with a brilliant & diverse group of clinicians at one of Australia’s first feminist health centres, Liverpool Women's Health Centre.

I have been involved in education and in research - and am an active member of the Society of Acupuncture Research (SAR), the international Obstetrical Acupuncture Association (OBAA), The Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA) and The Australian Traditional Medicine Association (ATMS).

Noticeable improvements, quickly

After a thorough consultation, I treat wholistically using acupuncture alone, or in combination with herbal medicine and traditional physical therapies. My aim is to improve your condition quickly.

You’ll be given guidance about lifestyle strategies that you can use to help your progress. These can include how to use food, massage, exercise, meditation or stillness to help you manage or resolve your complaint.

I can work with you individually, or as part of your medical team alongside your doctor and other healthcare providers. I am a proponent of integrative medicine and keep up-to-date on other healthcare modalities and resources that may help you.
